, b) view of analuminum specimen with middle hole, and c) fatigue crack initiated from the hole edge observed by the microscope.Impact on Student LearningThere were difficulties which challenged the planned schedule and initial project design. Thegreatest challenge came from finding a suitable company that could provide a particulardisplacement sensor, known as a Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT). Followingthis, there were subsequent delays in delivery time for the LVDT and other materials whichaffected the manufacturing timeline. The biggest change made to the design from the initialdesign document was the addition of more holes and screws on the crosshead bars to improve thepull-out

Common Core StateStandards [7]. Each lesson contained multiple parts of varying difficulty in an effort to guidestudents through key concepts.User feedback indicated that the multiple-part approach appeared siloed and students could beeither overwhelmed or bored with an initial step, resulting in potentially losing learners fromconcept threads altogether. In an effort to address this concern, we re-organized the content intoa curriculum with subthemes of “A Day in the Life,” “Form and Function,” “Balance,”“Movement,” and “The Literate Engineer.” The content is largely unchanged from the originallesson plans, but the ten lessons with subparts were subdivided into 32 mini-lessons. Within eachcurricular topic, lessons are further organized by level

Seaperch programaligned with the department's interests, and a plan for collaboration was put forth.The county’s involvement occurred in two parts. 1. Develop a challenge that would be relevant to solving current environmental problems that are occurring in the same area where the campers live. 2. Assess success and provide support during the completed project demonstration.A presentation consisting of information pertaining to the challenge was developed by PWC. Itincluded information about the important roles freshwater mussels have in their environments,several engaging videos, an outline of our goal, and the parameters of the challenge. Informationwas provided at an accessible level and was engaging enough to have campers excited

In this assignment, he reviewed general arrange- ments, structures, stability, and structural fire protection plans and calculations for floating production platforms, offshore supply vessels, and barges. As a collateral duty, he served as a duty officer on the Salvage Engineering Response Team (SERT) working on over 50 salvage cases and deploying on three separate cases. He served as a Student Engineer onboard USCGC TAMPA (WMEC 902) from 2008-2011, and is a 2008 graduate of Officer Candidate School.Dr. Thomas W

-classactivity, each team crafted an opening statement based on individualized dossiers provided bytheir instructor, as well as through performing their own independent research. During class, astakeholder meeting was simulated, beginning with opening statements and site proposals fromeach team, followed by a round of negotiations and rebuttals, with the ultimate goal of agreeingon a location for development. Following the in-class exercise, students completed individualreflections to self-assess growth in their knowledge and skill development from participating inthe simulated meeting. This paper presents the assignments and lesson plan for the newly createdethics role-playing activity, which could be adapted to represent the pressing

the study. Finally, a shortreflection on the results and plans for implementation will be discussed.Vision for the 2013 curriculumThe previous revision was primarily started to achieve two improvements. The first one was adecrease in the average study duration (at that time almost five years for the three-yearbachelor programme). The second one was to deal with a new requirement for first-yearstudents that banned them from access to further education if they did not at least achieve75% of the credits for that year. This is called “bindend studie advies” (BSA) in Dutch. The2013 curriculum took inspiration from the design spiral to show students and lecturers howeach element is connected and knowledge deepens with each passing year. Also, each

demonstrate an ability to • (Outcome 5) Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. • (Outcome 6) Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.While the course assesses both of these objectives, our mini projects only target one. The miniprojects were completed by each individual student and were not used for assessment ofOutcome 5. For that objective, students additionally completed a substantial group project andafterwards completed a group health assessment survey.1.2: Related WorkTo the best of our knowledge
